Right now I just want to end this school with great grades and pass exams but how I see my future? I want to be someone. Someone great. I want to go to university and study English philology. That's what I've always wanted. I want to do something connected with languages and I want to learn as much languages as I possibly can. In 10 years I will be fluent in English, Korean, Russian, Czech and Italian. While knowing all of those I will travel the world. I will explore. I will see new cultures and learn from them. I want to travel every country because there's always something different in each one. That's fascinating.
But I don't want to explore it all by myself. I don't want to be alone. I see myself with my boyfriend, soon-to-be husband. He'll be the man of my dreams. Growing older only by the age, he'll be still a child at heart. He'll still wear his old flannels that were already worn out years ago. But I'll love him unconditionally and he'll treat me like the queen that I am. We'll share the same passion and we'll love the same things – he'll be my muse and I'll write poems about him and he'll take candid photos of me when I'm not looking. He'll know how to make me happy even though I'm sad because of him. That doesn't matter, at the end of the day his smile will be the best thing I have ever seen. After couple of years together we'll get matching tattoos. Not the ugly ones, when significant others have their names tattooed on wrists. Nope. We'll get sun and moon tattoos. He'll be moon of my life that shines bright when the night is dark and I'll be his sun that comforts him when it's cold and sad outside. Maybe we'll have kids. I don't know but I hope so, I'd love to have a baby girl. Basically we'll be that one artistic couple that you always see on the Internet. Annoying but still pretty cool. Alright but even though I'll love him like no one else in the entire universe, adapt literally everything in my life for him and all that stuff I'll finally learn how to love myself because after all, if I want to love someone, I need to treat my precious body and soul right.
Getting back on the track and speaking of tattoos, I'll get a lot of them. Not a massive ton of them but all that I have planned. Sunflower on my arm, camera on my wrist. I'll also get a lightning bolt tattoo as a tribute to my dad. I might be in my eighties and I'll still love Harry Potter series so because of that I'll get lumos spell on my ankle. I want my body to be my canvas, I want to feel the same on the outside as I feel on the inside and I want to have all important things forever on me. Of course, I won't forget about my love to languages. I'll also get some English and Korean sentences tattooed on me. It will look good I swear. I'll definitely get '희망이 있는 곳엔 반드시 시련이 있네' which means 'Where there is hope, there is always hardship' in Korean. This quote keeps me going.
When I am in my thirties, done with all the education and stuff, I'll have my own foundation for the animals. I have always loved them. Being a vegetarian I'll support them till my death. I will try to fight for their rights, I've believed all my life that they have emotions and they do feel pain. I will have a small shelter for cats right behind my house.
My artistic side won't go away. I will be somewhat an artist in my heart forever even while being a translator and having own shelter I will try my best to write more poems. I find them the most beautiful and breathtaking form of art. I will write as much as I can so the world can have some of my creativity. I will hopefully get them published and who knows? Maybe they will be a bestseller and I will become new Sylvia Plath (but without the sad ending and suicide, though).
In my free time I will take photographs. It won't be my job, of course, I will do it just for fun and own happiness. Taking my time with people, saving their moments, but also all the editing that comes with photography – it's really special. Some people may find it boring but it isn't. You can literally see a memory with a picture. Wonderful.
That's all I have planned. Life goes on. It's unpredictable but still amazing. I hope everything will work out but who knows. I will have my fingers crossed.
